This is Johnny Null of the Porkchop Express and I’m talkin’ to whoever’s listening. When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac picks you up, taps the back of your favorite head against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you’ve paid your dues. You look that sucker right square in the eye and you say, “Yes sir, the check is in the mail.”.

Dan’s wrong. I prefer a paper book. You can also get bored in space, you can only look out the window so long. I guarantee the astronauts on the space station do have books to read. Crappy and good. Tastes vary.

Work is a little slow this week. Today they are shooting web promotional video, which I think would look much better if we were gangbusters busy. I’m holding off on running some work so I have something for the cameras.

Meanwhile, writing looks busy for those who are not cameras, so I’m doing some of that. Been a while, so I confess I’m hazy on some of my own characters. Jeremy, Brennen, Gareth, sure they’re all there, but I actually wrote a bunch of stuff including a character I decided to cut out a while back…

Jack: I believe the US Court system defined “action figures” as dolls some time in the ’90s, and while such a definition may have been a frivolous endeavor, ultimately millions of young children’s parents paid for it.

My favorite Ralph Macchio movie is My Cousin Vinny.

… Somehow, I’m behind again, and not behind at the same time – I hate temporal mechanics.

Holy crapoli. I hurt both my back and my shoulder cleaning my sons room. Nothing a nice, hot, bubble bath won’t fix. I didn’t just clean his room.. I took out one big black trash bag of toys for garage sale, one giant orange tub for trade-in at the 2nd hand shop, one white kitchen bag of broken stuff to trash and three bags of clothes to give away.

That room is clean I tell you. CLEAN! I even straightened the bookshelves.

I think I hurt from sitting on the floor and reaching in many directions – it was like a yoga cleaning workout and the gutting of the room was extra-cathartic.

Tomorrow night starts the events of PodcampAZ with an EVFN kickoff.. so tonight, I am going to take that damn bubble bath and go to bed early. I’m NOT going to gut out the daughter’s room until next week. Tomorrow I’m going to get as much rest as possible because I have a feeling I won’t be sleeping for 3 days straight..
